Abstract (en)

A test system and a related method, the system comprising a test processing agent and local test device(s) are disclosed. The test processing agent (1300) processes test measurements related to a network-under-test (1200) into test results. The test processing agent (1300) is decoupled from the network-under-test (1200), e.g., by being reachable through a network communication link distinct from the network-under-test. The local test device (1100) comprises a firmware module (1140) and a network interface (NI) module (1110). The firmware module (1110) depends on external instructions for initiating a test sequence on the network-under-test (1200). The NI module (1110) comprises at least one physical port (1112) connectable to the network-under-test (1200). The physical port (1112) is used for initiating the test sequence. The test processing agent (1300) receives the test measurements following the initiation of the test sequence by the local test device (1100) and allows access to the test results.
